SONYA : ROTHWELL

ATLAS COSMOSIS 14.5

£4,495.00 GBP

Sonya Rothwell's otherworldly oils of empyrean consciousness expressing itself are 'subtly absorbed minglings with universal forces,' neologically titled Cosmosis : Created in just one session Sonya's ethereal paintings retain a freshness, immediacy and magic – once the spell is broken the work is complete : :

This huge painting sprung from me just after returning from Morocco, while my heart was still full of the Atlas Mountains : As I painted it came to me that Atlas, the Titan god of Astronomy & Navigation, holds up our heavens supporting us in our earthly endeavours : :

'We are all made of stars, interwoven and infinite' : Like galaxies, each work is made up of interconnected canvases – individual parts of the whole, intended to scatter like stars across our sphere : :

Their creation process is very physical : Working on the floor in the flow, Sonya's bare hands move around the canvas, smearing, smudging, dripping and splattering, as melding pools of iridescent colour alchemically paint themselves : :
